Answer to Question 1

Affective forecasts refer to predictions of how we would feel about an event we have not experienced. For example, if a person imagined that he or she would dislike being in the military even though he or she has not experienced such an event, then that person has an affective forecast on that event. Research indicates that affective forecasts are often inaccurate.
